Our houseboat is moored right in the heart of the old centre in the widest and most beautiful tree lined canal of Amsterdam. Even though the immediate surroundings are quiet and residential, Nieuwmarkt square and Central Station are around the corner. You cannot stay more centrally than this!

Many guests have enjoyed staying on our boat while discovering Amsterdam. They have noted their experiences and many good idea´s in a book in the houseboat which you can read during your stay.

The houseboat area is peaceful but véry close (1 street away) to all the city entertainment. Nieuwmarkt square with its many cafe terraces, bars, restaurants and lovely special shops is just around the corner. Dam square is a couple of streets further away, past the red light district. Central Station is only about 400 metres away.

From Central Station tram/metro/bus leave every minute to take you anywhere you want to go in Amsterdam. For the real Amsterdam experience you can rent a bike nearby.If you want to go further afield, trains also leave regularly from Central Station and will take you directly to the beach boulevard + sea (25 minutes) and to other popular places in the Netherlands.

The houseboat apartment is sound proofed, very private and suitable for between 1 and 4 guests. The living area is light and airy with an open kitchen. The large windows allow for plenty of light, air and views of the water. There ´s a small wooden desk in the corner and a wifi connection is available. The big corner sofa turns into a single or double bed,The bedroom is peaceful with a comfortable big bed.All towels and linens are provided by us.The swans will eat from your hand through the window!

Outside, there is a sundeck with wooden bench facing south at your own front door.

A small grocery store is only 30 steps away, the big supermarket a 2 minute walk. There are lots of nice restaurants with all kinds of cuisine around the corner. Two parking garages are in the immediate vicinity.

I absolutely loved my stay here. I've traveled to 36 countries, and this was one of my best accommodations experiences ever. It was so clean, in a great central location, yet on a quiet street/canal, well-equipped, and the owner Mirko is great, was very helpful, kind, available, and interesting. The canal views are spectacular! As a solo female traveler, I felt very safe. I can't wait to return!

My wife and I did a 2-week tour of western Europe, with the last leg of our trip being 4 nights in Amsterdam aboard Mirko's houseboat. Needless to say, the location is perfect; we were walking from Central Station and tons of restaurants, bars, and shops. The inside of the boat is very cozy and clean and includes basically all amenities you could need. We were beyond pleased with our stay and will definitely try to stay here again the next time we are in Amsterdam.

Mirko's houseboat has been he most amazing Airbnb I've stayed in up to this point. It was such a lovely lovely stay. The houseboat is quiet and in such a convenient location, close to everything. We rented bikes and walked everywhere. Mirko was so kind and helpful upon arrival. He took the time to explain everything we needed to know and we had such an amazing time on his houseboat.

If you go to Amsterdam you're going to want to stay in a houseboat, and if you're going to stay in a houseboat this is a great one.
Once you are inside inside it's not boat-like at all, it's just a nice cozy apartment that happens to be located on the water. There were even fresh flowers!
The location was close enough to walk to everything, but far enough away that it wasn't loud. Mirko was accommodating and easy. Strongly recommended.

Highly recommend!! We have stayed in half a dozen Airbnb properties around Europe (France, Ireland, Germany, Holland, England) in the past year, and all of them have been positive experiences, but Mirko’s houseboat was THE BEST overall so far. He’s got the big things covered like location and cleanliness – both were fantastic. But he’s also taken care of so many little details that others often leave out. First, location: you can walk EVERYWHERE. So incredibly east to get to from the train station and then to explore the city once you are settled. We took one Uber ride at the end of a very long day after a late dinner over by the Museumplein, but otherwise we walked everywhere. There is also great access to the streetcar system and places to rent bikes nearby. There is a restaurant right out the front door (although we didn’t try it on this trip – it looked good), and there are more restaurants right around the corner. We had a great meal at a little Italian place two minutes from the houseboat, and we also bought basic groceries from a small grocer and a bottle of wine from a wine shop on that same street. Although you are in the heart of everything, the houseboat still manages to feel like a peaceful retreat. Once inside we couldn’t hear any of the activity happening nearby – it is just far enough away from the center of things to feel private and restful. It is lovely to sit inside and look out at the water and to watch the sun rise or set and the other boats quietly gliding by. We loved feeding the birds out of the window. And, even though you are fully on the water if feels very stable and solid. No movement from passing ships or from walking around. The houseboat was beautifully clean. I often find I have to overlook small things in vacation lodging, but I did not have a single “ewwww moment” at this property. It was tidy and well cared for and maintained. The heat works well. All of the lamps had bulbs. The furniture was comfortable and thoughtfully arranged. The beds were even comfortable – our teenage son slept on the sofa (that turns into a bed) and he was very content. The linens were of good quality and there were plenty of towels and pillows. It was the little things, though, that put our stay in Mirko’s houseboat at the top of the list. The wood floors and furniture give the whole place a warm and homey feel. There is a spacious shower with large tub (you can lift your arms or shave your legs!), there is a full-length mirror in the bedroom (see from your head to your feet at the same time!), there was paper towel in the kitchen (plus lots of clean dish towels), the kitchen was well appointed and totally functional (even had scissors which is something I always need...
